Unfortunately the process to protect your network from bad actors is also the same technology to "protect" your government from alternative interpretations of history.
Context is key, if you are in a western culture. You need to explain the current meaning. The original meaning or the meaning in a different culture, is besides the point. Most symbols good and bad were made from similar symbols and its context has been changed on how it has been used in that culture.
In a few hundred years, this symbol may have a different meaning, and may be acceptable, as it has a positive context. But now it isn't and students need to learn that, and know why it is wrong to show it. Beyond you are a bad kid for showing this symbol that you have a vague understanding what it means that happened to be an easy to program fractal.
Writing code by voice? Are you insane. Speech is portraying ideas in a liner fashion. Coding you are jumping up and down filling different parts of the problem. At different time.
Normally we have transcriptionist who are trained in a particular area to understand the context of the message. A legal transcriptionist requires different training then a Medical Transcriptionist.
I hate to sound like a Microsoft supporter but... 1) How old is your system? When did you get it installed. How old of the technology is built in. This is with Microsoft right out of the lab technology. So you system is probably using a decade old software.
2) How good would a transcriptionist handle your voice mails? I get some voice mails that I need to play 3 or for time, just to figure out what the heck it is about. If you try to transcribe what was said out of context most of it is completely unintelligible gibberish. "Hey this is John, the blue light is on (in the background "John tell him the blue light is blinking") and it is blue 83991222 (click)"
3) How much background noise? Are these from people calling from cell phones. Or a LAN line.
How many professional developers have a solid background. I have been coding for over 30 years and still I go to a reference material. Randomly try different stuff and methods. Often people go how did you figure that out. My normal responce is I decided to right click on it and see what options were available.
Then use it as a learning opportunity to teach why that symbol is bad and have them put extra steps to make a house windows or something else. Most kids (and adults) don't really get why these symbols are so bad. Like the nooce and other thing they are used as a threat to mark Teratory saying we don't want other people here and will hurt anyone diffferent.
Programming is more of an art then a knowledge exercise. And it needs practice to keep it up.
However one thing we lost since the 8/16 bit computer days are the easy to program computers. Most kids wants to do graphics (hence the popularity of Logo) but good old basic was good at this too. Today Python seems to be a good tool but while the kid is still grasping at varables and loops they want to do graphics and to explain how to do that in Python just blows the mind. Because you can't just draw a line. Or paste a gif.
Which state? The United States has 50 states with often different laws. They may be some federal over reaching laws but the details are managed by each state.
Normally a store can refuse to sell until they pay.
Often they will let mistakes like this slide as to keep the customer happy and there isn't the big of a loss. But they can refuse to sell if there is a mistake in the price... but if they don't fix the problem quickly then they may be going info false advertising.
For Lowes, I expect if these people only got under a thousand dollars with of goods they would let it slip. But they took a lot of stuff.
The phone market today seems akin to the PC Market back in the early 90's where they are just starting to settle down on what people want and what can be made, but are we there yet?
early 1980 PC's were made with a bunch of processors and OS's they were some systems, that were compatible with each other, but they were considered ripoffs and often would fall into legal problems.
Late 1990 Phones. Were made with a bunch of different systems and every new model was like a new phone.
late 1980 PC's Battle lines are being drawn. Apple vs. IBM (What we now call a PC) Amiga holding on.
Early 2000 Phones. Black Berry, Microsoft Mobile, Palm were fighting for the smart phone market, while Nokia, Samsung, LG, Motorola were fighting for the consumer market.
Early 1990 The IBM PC won with its compatibles with Microsoft being the true victor as with all the Hardware in fighting, Microsoft was expanding the winning side, to be entrenched in the next battle.
Late 2000 phones. the iPhone came out, and Android was under serious development. Apple and Google have been playing behind the scenes of the smart phone war realizing the smaller Consumer Models were not going to make it.
Late 1990 The PC were no longer connected to IBM and all the IBM Compatibles were fighting for the better selling PC. Microsoft really holding onto the market share
Early 2010 Phones, Apple is the dominate player and Google putting a good push on Android, However the phone makers are trying to make their phones better selling then each other.
Early 2000 PC's Are more or less getting boring to the market Apple had a resurgence for this decade, due to the Halo effect of its iPod line and Microsoft not doing much with XP and delays on the new OS. But in terms of PC's we got use to using them more as a general tool, then something cool and a status symbol.
Late 2010 Phones. Well this is where we are at now. Are we getting ready for a life of boring mobile devices where we don't really care about them any more, they are just a tool, where LTS makes a lot of sense because we won't be needed to update our phones any longer barring failure or damage.
As I type this on my 6 year old Thinkpad, which still is fast and seems to do things just as good as the newer PC's barring high end video. Where before I was getting a new PC every 3 or 4 years to keep up with the times, now it just a tool, I could get a smaller lighter and faster PC.... But what for? It does what I want and I am not having any problems keeping the software up to date, or finding new software for it.
Is the mobile market getting to this point or are their going to be some twist and turns that will make LTS OS a wast of time, because we will be using out of date and usless phones.
Winamp cannot load your songs onto the iPod. iTunes could. That is the reason for iTunes dominance. iTunes looks good on OS X but it look out of place on Windows. However if you had an iPod/early iPhone iTunes was needed.
This isn't a case of a product failing due to bad design or engineering. Just a disruptive force came in and took it over. with the iPod, most people (not the Stereotypical Slashdot crowd) rather have their music on their own device then on a bulky PC. Having to be yelled at by IT workers for having 2/3 of their backups being from users keeping music files, on their work PC's, then getting sick of the extra 6 hours it took, so just deleting them from the user accounts, and if they complain they will just say, be happy we don't report this misuse of company property to your boss. Having a different playlist at home and at work.
Winamp was fine. Playing music stored on your PC wasn't.
What is Pro-America? America and its values are always changing. An agrarian society to an industrial one to a global power. When we change over our values need to adjust for the new culture. As being a global power we are a major influence in the world, but we also get influenced from other cultures back. This isn't a bad thing, or anti-American, it is actually quite American for the modern America.
I haven't found any real advantage of Bing over Google other than some cosmetic stuff. I remember Microsoft Adds a while back showing that without the cosmetic differences Bing and Google were not differential. Which pretty much failed. Because if you are already using one product why would you change over to an other product that does the same thing?
There is an other e-Commerce site other than Amazon?
Honestly I think the only people who really cared about 1 click are the people who have strong views on software patients. (Or had implemented it and got a call from Amazons lawyers)
Well the question is, if Amazon didn't come up with this idea, would it be used today? While today it seems obvious, because we have seen it in action. But would had this idea been successfully implemented without it? There is a risk involved in keeping the billing information accessible to the interface layer, and allow for one click purchase, may have been too easy, and caused problems where too much stuff was purchased by accident or fraudulently.
A lot of businesses work off the model, what are the other are doing. So the Amazon 1 click may had been a unique and original idea.
There are so many times the "Professional user" will break copyright. Small companies without the money to pay for these big fees, to try to get a picture to make their presentation look a bit professional. Or used with a small audience, who really doesn't care. They will go as far as they think they can get away with it.
The problem is the poor explanation of the problems. Explaining your life trade offs isn't really a good way to stir interest in the cause you are fighting for. If she is trying to explain how the area she needs to work is so expensive that a decent middle class job is too expensive, her story just didn't hit any feelings.
I myself live 25 miles away from my work, were it is cheaper, I get up at 4:30 to go to the Gym before work. Then it take me an hour to get back home. I don't see this as a Sob story. I could live closer if I wanted to, but the longer commute allowed me to have a nicer home.
Honestly this is the first time I heard of it. Most likely as the explanation illustrates it isn't a tool that I need to solve my problems. But still if a tool was really that popular I would had heard about it before.
They would imply that it was Samsung, because 1. It is a big company 2. It has a near fanatical loyal followers. 3. History with the Note 7 4. Make more people scared, so they read the article.
So she chose this life style. If waking up at 2:30 isn't her thing, she could Drive and avoid public transportation and leave at a more reasonable hour.
She doesn't have to use public transportation she can drive further (she already seems to have a car because she drives to the train station) She doesn't need to live so far away she can choose a smaller home, or choose to get some roommates to split the cost. She can probably find a job closer to her home.
Sure cost of living in such areas have skyrocketed to a point where non-rich people cant live in the area. Thanks to gentrification and policies that try to get rid of poor people from living in the area all under protecting your property investment. But if needed they are other options.
The MBA classes that I have took, actually encouraged R&D and making a solid product. The problem is the misinterpretation of the statement that "A companies first priorities are to towards the shareholders" The person who had created that statement actually went on to expand and apologized for it. At the time of that statement a lot of companies were running their business to the grown with shareholder money and just pocketing the money, or putting the money not into the business but towards other causes they may feel they want to put it into. This wasn't meant as a statement to put short term gains over a long term plan, but to make sure the money used for the business is put towards the growth of the business, so the shareholders will be able get payback from their investments.
Often these decisions are also not from some Harvard MBA, but from accountants, who need to report quarterly, which cannot always get a direct correlation of money put into R&D and company profits.
Also as this is showing, people will try to cheap out when getting a replacement battery, Thus having a situation where their product is dangerous. While they may not be legally liable, they get bad press when the article says Samsung galaxy note overheating and burning people. A non replaceable battery reduces the chance that people will cheap out and make their product dangerous.
I recall some stories blaming Apple for their phone catching on fire, while the user was found to use some cheap 3rd party charger that more or less just connected the USB cable directly to the AC house power socket.

That isn't the fault of speech recognition, but context recognition.
If you had a command prompt and say Open My Files it would do the same thing.
